I have taught many children who held the 40 that their self-worth relied on how well they 41 at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and –death affairs. In their single-minded 42 of success, the development of many other human qualities is 43 forgotten.
44 , while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take a(n) 45 attitude. In a culture valuing only the winner and 46 to the ordinary players, they strongly 47 competition.

Dear Friend,
The recent success of children's books has made the general public aware that there's a huge market out there.
And there's a growing need for new writers trained to create the $3 billion worth of children's books bought each year ... plus stories and articles needed by over 650 publishers of magazines for children and teenagers.
Who are these needed writers? They're ordinary folks like you and me.
But am I good enough?
I was once where you might be now. My thoughts of writing had been pushed down by self-doubt, and I didn't know where to turn for help.
Then, I accepted a free offer from the Institute to test my writing aptitude（潜能）, and it turned out to be the inspiration I needed.
The promise that paid off
The Institute made the same promise to me that they will make to you, if you show basic writing ability:
You will complete at least one manuscript（手稿） suitable to hand in to a publisher by the time you finish our course.
I really didn't expect any publication before I finished the course, but that happened. I sold three stories. And I soon discovered that was not unusual at the Institute.
Since graduation, I have authored 34 nationally published children's books and over 300 stories and articles.
Free test and brochure
We offer a free aptitude test and will send you a copy of our brochure describing our recognized home-study courses on the basis of one-on-one training.
Realize your writing dream today. There's nothing sadder than a dream delayed until it fades forever.
Sincerely,
Kristi Holl, Instructor

| Azure Warrenfeltz, a 4-year-old girl, is fluent in Japanese and Spanish. She also can 1 bits of French, German, Arabic and Italian, and she soon hopes to learn some Mandarin Chinese. In today's globalized world, Azure is one of many young American children whose parents insist her 2 include foreign languages. "It's such a 3 environment now, you never know what you might need," says Azure's mother, Julie Warrenfeltz, who started schooling her daughter in foreign languages when she was 6 weeks old. "She couldn't 4 a violin, she couldn't stand upright, but I wanted her to do 5 ." Not only is learning a foreign language easier for children than it is for 6 , but children who are exposed to other languages also do better in school. They are more 7 to diversity, says Fran?ois Thibaut, who runs The Language Workshop for Children, which has nine schools around the East Coast. Language study for children is based on immersion (沉浸), he says. Kids sing songs and play games to help develop language comprehension skills. When children start learning languages at birth, they have the 8 to learn many languages at once without getting 9 -because, as the brain develops, so too does the ability to separate one 10 from another. | ||||
